Following the dismissal of the plaintiffs' claims in fraud and deceit, the defendants sought costs on a full or substantial indemnity basis.
The court found that the plaintiffs had made unsupported allegations of fraud against the defendants on an inadequate evidentiary record, warranting cost sanctions.
The court awarded the defendants costs on a substantial indemnity basis in the amount of $246,213.93.
The court declined to award costs against the plaintiffs' counsel personally.
